I am glad that I purchased this Toro 1800 electric snow thrower. I read alot of the Amazon.com reviews on it before buying it so that I knew what and what not to expect and what it will and will not do, and as a result it has actually exceeded my expectations. I have done my 50-foot uneven driveway and 75 feet of sidewalk here in Salt Lake City a dozen times now with 3" to 5" of snow and it performed well with zero problems. It really will throw snow well (maybe as far as 30' in ideal conditions, though normal distance is more like 20' --- far enough for my needs). It is lightweight and easy to manipulate and control - and of course it starts every time! - and I have not had any problems with the "small" wheels. I can easily put it on the back seat of my 1993 Toyota Camry. I use a basic 100' orange outdoor extension cord and have quickly learned how to work with it .... and although it does get in the way and I have to keep moving it, I got used to it quickly and it's a small inconvenience compared to maintaining a gas-powered one. Granted, it doesn't have the power to handle bigger depths of snow or heavy wet snow that well, but I didn't expect that. So I am pleased with how it performs, no hassles getting it started or buying gas, no problems with parts (yet), and the money I saved over buying a good quality gas-powered snow-thrower. Also, being smaller and lighter weight, it's easier to store for next winter!
